This topic describes how to enable the X-Pack Monitoring feature. This feature helps monitor your Alibaba Cloud Logstash cluster. After you enable the feature for your Logstash cluster and associate the cluster with an Elasticsearch cluster, you can monitor the Logstash cluster in the Kibana console of the Elasticsearch cluster.
Prerequisites
- An Alibaba Cloud Logstash cluster is created. For more information, see Create a cluster.
- An Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch cluster is created. The Elasticsearch cluster must
meet the following requirements:
- The Elasticsearch cluster resides in the same virtual private cloud (VPC) as the Logstash cluster. We recommend that you create an Elasticsearch cluster that uses the same major version as the Logstash cluster. If the Elasticsearch cluster uses a major version that is different from the major version of the Logstash cluster, make sure that the version of the Elasticsearch cluster is compatible with the version of the Logstash cluster. For more information, see Create an Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch cluster.
- The Public Network Access feature is enabled on the Kibana Configuration page of the Elasticsearch cluster. For more information, see Configure an IP address whitelist for access to the Kibana console over the Internet or an internal network.
